I found this interesting

Ok I know it’s wiki and it’s not the most accurate but from living here and visiting other countries I think this is a fair idea:

I’ve been to Germany a few times this year and I’ve noticed their cities have a lot more apartments and their apartment buildings are bigger and higher. (Ok yes I know obviously they are bigger cities but still I don’t think we have that many apartments here)

So out of curiosity I ask: Do you agree that Ireland should build more apartments rather than semi/fully detached housing like other eu countries (High rise) or do you think Irish people have a higher preference for a house and a garden ? I have a German friend who told me you can rent a garden if you live in a city apartment further out if you want a garden which is a cool idea tbh

Obviously before anybody says it yes I know we need to build more in general im just asking out of interest because we seem to prefer houses here over apartments
